Mannatech Sees Slower Market Growth Affecting Second Quarter 2008 Results

Company plans on additional reserve for litigation

Coppell, TX, August 1, 2008 – Mannatech, Incorporated (NASDAQ—MTEX), a leading developer and provider of dietary supplements and skin care solutions, announced today that its sales and earnings in the second quarter of 2008 continue to be negatively affected by market conditions resulting in a larger deficit than experienced in the first quarter. Also, the company plans to substantially increase reserves for costs associated with pending litigation and workforce rationalization.

“Domestic sales continued to weaken in the second quarter, given challenging market conditions,” said Wayne Badovinus, president and CEO of Mannatech. “As a result, the company has taken considerable steps to reduce ongoing operating expenses as evidenced by the recent reduction in corporate workforce. In addition, I am spending a considerable amount of time in the field working to restore sales activity. While several factors have contributed to slower-than-anticipated growth in our Associate numbers, the company believes that the wellness industry will grow domestically, and that our direct sales channel is capable of restoring sales growth to historic levels.”

Badovinus added, “Market deterioration from a weakened economy and overhang from other external issues has had an inevitable impact on our sales growth. However, demand for our proprietary products among our loyal customers has remained strong, and we continue to find efficiencies through tight control of our operations. Mannatech is moving forward.”
